Apparent Power (VA)

Posted on 2nd November 201516th July 2021 by ThePD (The Project Definition)

Apparent Power (VA) is the voltage-ampere requirement of a device. The Apparent power for DC circuits is simply the voltage (Vdc) times the current (Idc): VA = Vdc x Idc, and for AC circuits, VA is the product of the RMS (root mean square) voltage (VRMS) times the RMS current (IRMS).
